New Utah Judge Confirmed

The Utah State Senate yesterday voted to confirm Julie Lund (Third District Juvenile) to replace Judge Sharon McCully as a new Utah State Court judge.

For information about Judge Lund, check out Governor Herbert's news release announcing his nomination. After the governor makes his nomination, the Senate Judicial Confirmation Committee convenes to discuss the character and fitness of the nominees. The audio recordings, agenda and committee reports are available online. To find committee recordings and reports about Judge Lund, select the December 8, 2010 meeting date.

In this case, the committee gave a favorable report to the senate, so Judge Lund's name was forwarded to the entire senate, which met yesterday, December 14, in the 2010 13th Extraordinary Session to vote on the governor's nomination. The audio recording and related materials are also available online.
